I have bought as many as ten $1000 bonds in quick succession without AMEX stopping me. Maybe I just use my card so much that these purchases did not stand out!

1. Does anyone know what the current interest rate on the I bond is?

2. What kind of penalty are there if I don't hold them for even 6 months? Do I lose any of the principals or just the interest?

(I took a quick look at the two related threads but couldn't find a quick answer)

Thanks!!
